Siemens Gamesa to repower two wind farms in Texas

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has been selected by NextEra Energy Resources to repower two wind farms in Texas, USA. The two wind farms currently feature Siemens SWT- 2.3-93 model turbines. Under the repowering programme, these will be upgraded to the SWT-2.3-108 model, which is expected to lead to 25 per cent more annual energy production, boost reliability and efficiency, and extend the service life. The wind farms will remain operational during the repowering process and project completion is scheduled for the end 2017.
